History

Bachdjerrah Forest had been neglected since 1984 due to the encroachment of informal buildings surrounding the area.[1][2][3] In 2012, the Algerian government initiated a program to remove and relocate informal settlements.[4] This project was completed in 2015.[5]

Location

[edit]

Bachdjerrah Forest is located 18 kilometers east of Algiers, 70 kilometers east of Tipaza, and approximately 4 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, in the town of Ain Taya within the Mitidja plain.[6][7]
